Sunday Night Link Roundup

I came across a large number of links that I wanted to share this week, probably too many for one post, so I figured that I would limit myself to a baker’s dozen.

* Keri Morgret attended BayCHI this past week where Google senior research scientist Dan Russell spoke on the topic How Do People Use Search Engines (page no longer available). She notes some interesting observations on eye-tracking studies at Google, as well as providing a link to a video of an earlier version of the presentation.

* Susan Kuchinskas gives us the details on Yahoo’s first confab micro-conference in Yahoo’s Confab on Prediction Markets (link no longer available). We learn a little about how companies like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, and HP use prediction markets from the post.
